WATCH LIVE: President Trump Delivers Remarks at the Iowa State Fairgrounds – 8 PM ET
President Trump will deliver remarks tonight in Des Moines, Iowa, during a “Salute to America Celebration” event.
Tonight’s event, hosted by America 250, the group assisting the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission and Trump’s Salute to America 250 Task Force, will kick off the “one-year countdown to America’s 250th birthday.”
This comes amid a week of wins for the Trump Administration, including the One Big Beautiful Bill’s final passage in the House of Representatives.
The White House is expected to hold a bill signing ceremony on Friday after the House sent the bill to the President’s desk earlier on Thursday.
Additionally, new job numbers show a massive economic surge as the President strikes new deals on tariffs and succeeds on his economic agenda. In the month of June, 147,000 new jobs were created, and the unemployment rate shrank.
Even CNN is being forced to admit that the Trump economy is surging.
Per CNN
The US job market continues to chug along despite heightened uncertainty about the economy and how President Donald Trump’s tariffs could shake out.
The economy added a stronger-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday.
Last month’s gains, which landed above expectations for 117,500 jobs to be added, marked a slight increase from May’s total, which was revised up slightly (5,000 jobs) to 144,000. April’s job gains were revised higher by 11,000 jobs, for a net gain of 158,000.
Those revisions and Thursday’s data bring the three-month average job growth to 150,000.
The President is scheduled to speak at 7 pm CT/8 pm ET.
